PA T. mcee WILLIAM GEORGE DANIELSEN, or, RICHMOND, nrknrn tiron SULK-Y-PLOW.

semen-marrow forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,358, dated Ma 19, 188 5."

- Application filed February 13, 1885. (Nomodeh) I i V I 7 to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement in sulky-plows; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective of my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line a 00 of Fig. 2.

A represents a cranked axle, to one end of which is journaled a supporting-wheel, B, and to the opposite endis rigidly secured a lever, G.

A block, D, is journaled on the end of the axle adjacent to the lever G, and this block is bolted to the under side of a draft-pole, E, near the rear end of said pole.

A segmental rack, F, is secured on the outer side of the pole, and the lever O is provided with a spring-actuated bolt, 0, which engages with the rack,and thereby secures thelever O at any desired angle to the draft-pole. A handle, c, is pivoted to the upper end of the lever, and is connected to the bolt by a rod, 0

G represents a cast or wrought frame, which is bolted to the inner side of the draft-pole, as at g, and which extendsinwardly to about the center of the axle, and is j ournaled thereto, as at g.

A standard, H, which inclines rearwardly, extends fromthe upper side of the inner end of the frame G, is slotted at h, and to this standard is secured, by screws h, which extend through the slot, the flat seat-bar h, which has the seat 7L secured to its upperhorizontal end, and the foot'board h' secured to its lower horizontal end. By means of the slot and setscrews the seat and foot-board can be adjusted up or down to suit the driver.

I represents a stirrup'having the upturned ends i, through which the axle is loosely passed,

1 the stirrup entending from the block D to, the

bearing 9. V v

A plow-beam, K, is secured to the stirrup near its outer end by the yoke clamps 70..

L represents an arm, that is secured to the upper side of the stirrup near its inner end, at an angle of about forty-five degrees thereto, by means of thejclamp-yoke Z. The front end of this arm is curved and extends outwardly to the outer side of the plowbeam, where it plow to be the inner side of the draft-pole, and isprovided with a segmental rack, m.- i

A lever, N, is pivoted to the bracket at the point a, and has a spring-actuated bolt, n, for engaging with the rack, and a handle and connectingrod for operating the bolt.

0 represents a curved lever, that has its fulcrum on the axle, as at 0, its front end connect-ed to the upturned end of the arm L by the links 0, and its rear end connected to the lower end of the lever N by the link 0'. The plow, which is secured to the stirrup and the arm, is of the ordinary construction, and, as here shown, is provided with the standard It, share It, and handles k An inverted- U -shaped bracket, P, is secured to the plow-beam and to the land-side handle by the clamp-yokes la, and in this bracket is journaled a small supporting-wheel, p, which runsin the furrow in rear of the plow. A scraper, p, bears against the upper side of the wheel and keeps it clear of dirt.

By means of the lever G and the cranked This slot and.

axle the plow can be caused to run at any destone, or other obstruction. The lower side of the small supporting-wheel is slightly lower than the plow, as shown, and by this construction the draft of the plow is greatly lessened, as will be very readily understood.

A sulky-plow thus constructed is adapted for the attachment of any of the common forms of walking-plows, is light, of very easy draft, simple in construction, can be easily operated, and put upon the market ata very reasonable cost. 1

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. The combination of the axle. the wheel journaled thereon, the draft-pole attached thereto, the stirrup I, hinged to the axle, the plow secured to the stirrup, and the levers N O, for tilting the plow, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the axle, the wheel journ'aled thereon, the draft-pole, the stirrup hinged to the axle, the plow secured to the stirrup and adapted to be laterally adjusted thereon, and the levers N O, for tilting the plow, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the axle, the wheel journaled thereon, the draft-pole, the stirrup hinged to the axle, the plow secured to the stirrup, the lever O, fulcrumed on the axle and connected to the plow by the links 0, the hand-lever N, fulcrurned on the draft-pole, and the link 0*, connecting the levers N O, substantially as described.

4. The combination of the bent axle, the wheel journaled thereon, the hand-lever G,

fixed to the axle, the draft-pole hinged to the axle, the stirrup hinged to the axle, the plow secured to the stirrup, and the leversN O, for tilting the plow, substantially as described.

5. The combination of the bent axle, the

wheel journaled thereon, the hand-lever O, fixed to the axle, the stirrup hinged to the axle, the plow secured to the stirrup, the lever 0, fulcrumed on the axle and connected to the plow by the links 0, the lever N, fulcrumed on the draft-pole, and thelink 0", connecting the levers N O, substantially as described.

6. The combination of the bent axle, the wheel journaled thereon, the hand-lever O, fixed to the axle, the draft-pole hinged to the axle, the rack F, and bolt 0, for securing the lever G to the pole at any desired point, the stirrup hinged to the axle, the plow secured to the stirrup, the supporting-wheel in rear of the plow, the lever O, fulcrumed on the axle and connected to the plow by the links 0, the hand-lever N, fulcrumed to the draftpole, the link 0 connecting the levers N O, and the rack m and bolt 12, for securing the hand-lever N at any desired point, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM GEORGE DANIELSEN.
